Seeking Compensation / Recovery For Injuries?

At our firm we aim to take the legal aspects of an injury claim off your plate so you can worry about getting better. Typically these accidents come down to three distinct but important aspects. These are:

• Fault - Who is at fault for the accident? This can be the most difficult part to determine with any accident. For example, the police report can help with this determination in the case of a car accident, but sometimes these are misleading. Further, liability can be split between multiple parties in the accident. An example of this might be if one party is speeding, and another person pulls out in front of them. It is possible the person speeding could have some percentage of the fault and the person speeding could bear the remainder. It is an important to have the right lawyer on your side to not only establish that the other party is at fault, but to prevent some percentage of fault being placed on yourself.

• Damages - What damages did you incur as a result of the accident? What damages will you incur in the future? This helps determine how much you will receive as settlement for your injuries. The most common types of damages that people are compensated for with regards to their injury claim are:

  • Past and Future Medical Bills
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Lost Wages and Income.

  Having an attorney on your side can bet the difference between getting what your deserve for your damages or getting little to nothing for all you have been through.

• Insurance - Who is going to compensate you? A little-known fact is that most injury claims are paid by an insurance company, as opposed to the person or entity at fault for your injuries. Beyond this, there are often multiple policies and coverages that are available to an injured person. Having the right attorney on your side can be the difference between finding insurance coverage to help pay for your injuries and being left out in the cold.
